Hospital also gets 'most wireless' distinction

For the second year in a row, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) was named in July one of the top communications-technology users in the nation by Hospitals & Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital Association. The  2004 Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study measures the nation's hospitals on their use of Internet technologies for quality, customer service, public health and safety, business processes and workforce issues.  DHMC is also included in the "Most Wireless" category, recognizing the 25 hospitals that best demonstrate an ability to connect via mobile devices. DHMC is one of two Northern New England medical facilities to be named to the 100 Most Wired list. Concord Hospital in Concord, N.H., was also honored.
